One of the many Saft batteries
Elfa Elementenfabriek has worked with Saft for almost thirty years. The company has its head office and factory in France and also has factories in England, America and China. Saft can be called the expert in the lithium field, with more than 40 years of experience and a very wide range of batteries for different markets. Since a few years Saft is also owner of Tadiran. Together, these two brands are the global market leader for 3.6 volt lithium batteries.
Saft uses three different types of batteries. These are the nickel, primary lithium and rechargeable lithium (li-ion) batteries.
Saft nickel batteries are known for their excellent performance in extreme temperatures. They are popular in the aviation industry. They are also used in trains, drilling rigs and telecom masts.
These batteries offer high energy and high power solutions. There are 3 variants of this type of battery: Li-SOCl2, Li-SO2, Li-MnO2. They are particularly interesting for applications that need to work for a long time and where replacement is difficult to achieve. A difficult to realize replacement is often also expensive. Since primary lithium batteries can perform for such a long time, they are especially interesting for gas, water and electricity meters.
The most powerful li-ion batteries come from Saft. They are used for fighter jets and Formula 1 cars. This type of batteries can provide emergency power at -40°C.
At Elfa, we always want to offer the solution the customer is looking for. An example of this is our custom battery packs.
There is a chance that the Saft batteries in our range do not quite meet your needs. You are looking for a suitable solution for a specific application in your company. Elfa offers this solution. Elfa has an own assembly department at the head office in Amsterdam . Everything is tailor-made for you. This includes requirements such as dimensions, voltage, capacity, connector and seal. The custom battery packs are not only available for batteries from Saft. They can also be made for brands such as Tadiran, Panasonic or Varta.
